A Resonator Guitar

My son Will has been working on this resonator guitar. We bought it as a kit from Stew Mac and it’s working out really well. it’s a lot of work, but if you ever had an interest in making a musical instrument, this is not a bad way to go.

Dan, this post and the blog bring back a lot of memories. I’d built several guitars as a teenager, but haven’t done one since then (some 30 years ago). It looks like your son inherited a lot of talent. Thanks for the post.

Nice work, Will. Thanks for the link, Dan. Stew-Mac has some great tools for the inlay enthusiast as well as novel work-holding methodologies that aren’t often seen in the more general class of woodworking. I haven’t entertained the notion of building an instrument, and if I did, I would have to post the blog on MetalTenders.com, as I have a tin ear.

Stew-Mac also has a free monthly newsletter with repair shop tips that can be a boon to anyone who pursues woodworking.
